What Helps In Relieving The Pain After Tooth Extraction If No Relief Is Obtained After Taking Acetaminophen?

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed and was prescribed hydrocodone/acetaminophen (every 4 hours) and ibuprofen 600 mg (every 6 hours) for pain relief. The medicine doesn t seem to be helping - she is in a lot of pain. How can I get on top of the pain?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of pain after tooth extraction which is not getting relieved could be due to formation of dry socket at the area of extraction site. You should maintain complete hygiene. Avoid constant touching of your tongue to extraction site as it will displace clot. You should visit oral physician once and get complete examination done. You should go for Eugenol dressing done. Do luke warm saline rinses twice a day and keep eating soft food products. You can take ice creams to fasten healing process. Take Tramadol painkiller to get immediate relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
